first visit

Your first appointment will take either half an hour or 45 minutes depending on how complex the problem is (you are not charged extra if it is a 45 minute appointment). We will ask you a lot of questions about how the problem started, where you feel your symptoms, what makes them better and what makes them worse. The better you know your problem the easier it is to help you!

Then we will take a look at the area involved (maintaining your modesty at all times; you can borrow shorts from us) and tell you what we think is going on and explain why you are getting the problem in the first place. Often we use models of the joint and muscles involved so that you leave with a clear idea about what is going on. This is, in some ways, the most important bit of the first session, so ask as many questions as you like!

Then we can discuss how we suggest treating the problem, what techniques we might use, how long it might be expected to take to get better and what you can do at home to treat yourself. The first session will also involve actually treating the problem as well. You will be leaving with an initial diagnosis and a treatment plan.

We will tell you how many sessions you need and book these with you. Our aim is to get you better as quickly as possible so you will leave impressed and tell others about us!
